The Nicaragua Canal.

Late advices from Washington state
that the Nicaragua Canal Company will
very soon take the first practical step
towards the construction Of the proposed
canal connecting the Caribbean Sea with
the Pacific Ocean. A party Of forty sur
veyors and their assistants, under the i'm
mediate control of civil engineer X. f..
Peasy. will leave New York next Satur-
day for Nicaragua for the purpose Of max
ing extended surveys of the canal route.
One hundred laborers will be added to the
party when they reach Greytown, the
Eastern terminus of the proposed canal.
Of making an axial location Of the canal
from sea to sea. and make additional Dor
ings after determining the sites of the
locks. dams and embellishments.
\ railroad will also be located to be
built a. soon as the construction of the
canal is commenced The railroad is to
extend from the ocean harbors to the I'M
impeded navigation on either side of Lake
Nicaragua. The proposed route OF the
canal extends from the harbor of Grey
town on the caribbean Sea, to BritO, on
the Pacific. Its total length Is l1O miles.
of which 80 miles will be excavated canal,
- miles navigation by Lake Nicaragua and
So miles by the river San Juan (the outlet
of the lake the basin of the river San
Francisco and through seven locks. The
lake will be connected with the Pacific by
q canal about 10 miles in length.
It j. of vital importance that this under
taking shall be found practicable, for by
it. being carried to successful conclusion
the United States secure shorter water
connection between the Atlantic and
Pacific States, and avoid all complications
with France about the Panama i-thmus.

fortunately there are women IN the
larCe cities who have TO work IN thlS
way. It is hard for people who nave

wants to realize that any of their fellow
BEINGS are doomed 10 life OF darkness
and grinding poverty such as these
women endure.
That women are in many cases I'M
derpaid for their services as seamstress-
es and as saleswomen in stores IS IN
cuestionablv true. Hurd-hearted rs
Stone and cruel rs q serpent is the man
who will extort profit from the power
tv Of the women who work for hln.
But it wOuld be folly TO seek the cause
of this evil in nothing but the tlnty-
heartedness Of employers. The trouble
IS due, not to the form OF government
nor to the organization OF society, but
to the civilization which drives women
by the score into certain omplOyments
and keeps them out Of others.
When a dry-goods merchant may
take his choice from among twenty APP
plicantS for work at Sc per week II Is
not expected that he will insist upon
paving $40. The number of competi-
tors in certain lines of work reduces the
wages. Women will work for Starva-
ton wages in q store or at sewing rath-
er than secure a comfortable living by
doing housework.
There is something wrong about civil
ization which teaches q woman that is
is more honorable tC sew sixteen hOurt

secure u comfortable living in domestic
service. There are undOubtedlyS hun
dreds of women and girls working in
stores or as seamstresses who have not
one whit more refinement and are not
in any respect better educated than
girls who are employed rs servants in
households. But the former hold them
selves far above the latter. The clyili-
zation is wrong which teaches young

Of this kind.

work constitute the proper sphere for
every woman, and it is a false philoso-
ply which teaches anything else. The
woman, whether married Orunmarred,
who cannot live at home and find en-
plOymont in home work is unfortunate.
But the unhappy condition of these un-
fortunates is rendered all the more I'M
happy by the competition of girls who.

a Doctors Duck Hunt.

During the twenty years which DR..
Ackley practiced in northern Ohio mis-
reputation became very great He was
q man who was very impulsivc in his
actions, as IS shown bv the following:
One day while out duck shooting he
was accompanied by u favorito dog.
Another hunter was on the opposite
side of the stream. and rs the ducks
which he shot fell into tho water DR..
Acklcv's dog would swim in and get
them. The man objected to this, but
Acklcv told the man be could have all
the ducks retrieved by the dog. The
man answered that should the dog re-
trieye another duck lie would shoot him.
Ack!ey replied il the man shot the dog
he would shoot the man. Another duck
was shot, and in sprang the dog. and
was as promptly shot Ackley rcciprO-
Gated by filling the man full of shot
from his fowljng-piece, after which he
Immediately left the scene and returned
rapidly to the city. Some time later a
man came into the Office complaining
tnat some one had tilled him full of
bird shot. Ackley proceeded to pick
them out one by one, At the same time

close OF the process charged him good

Tree Planting on the Plains.

In no portion of the country is tree
planting more generally practised than
in those States which lie between the
Mississippi River and the Rocky Noun
tains The prairie settlers found bat
little timber. and that confined 10 the
borders Of the streams. They began TO
plant trees, first apparently for protec-
ton against the strong winds. and
afterwards for fuel and other purposes.
In most cases the Western Cottonwood
(pOput5tS GugUiutO. was the favOrite
for shelter belts, while Willows are TO
be seen III many places. Although much
has been said bv writer's on forestry
against the Cottonwood, vet | regard it
as one Of the best OF the pioneer trees.

growth enables the settler TO supply
himself in short time with fuel, not
the best bv any means. but still fuel

SagacitY Ofthe Coyote.

1t is during the weeks going just be-

Of the pack to that point where he would
strive TO break cover, to head him again
and again into the cover where his
speed could not be excrted TO the full,
were feats which might well puzzle all
the best dogs in England, and the
human intelligence which directs them.
His game and its getting are not
always so noble rs this, however. and
the coyote knows well the pinch of
